A Christmas Carol

More about the book

The story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old man who undergoes a profound transformation after being visited by the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley, and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Dickens wrote this novella during a time of re-evaluating Christmas traditions, drawing inspiration from his own childhood and various authors. Central themes include the treatment of the poor and the potential for personal redemption, sparking debate on its classification as a secular or Christian tale.
